Composed by Harry Tierney with lyrics by Joseph McCarthy in the 1920s, "in the eveneing" is a melodic ballad often interpreted in jazz and popular music contexts. Its gentle, flowing melody lends itself to expressive vocal and instrumental performance.

Early recordings captured the song’s lyrical charm, while jazz musicians later explored its harmonic possibilities through improvisation.

The lyrics evoke romantic evening settings, while the melody’s graceful phrasing provides ample space for personal interpretation and stylistic variation.
